The candidate must be board certified / eligible in Neurology with Special Qualification in Child Neurology. Additional training in either sleep medicine or epilepsy is preferred, but not required. Ability to interpret EEGs is required. The faculty member will also be expected to develop and perform clinical activities in surrounding outreach locations in Southeastern NC.

Wilmington, NC is a charming, coastal city of ~125,000 people located in the southeastern corner of North Carolina between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a popular destination because of its moderate, four-season climate, historic preservation district, annual cultural events, and numerous championship golf courses. The historic downtown offers a 1.75-mile Riverwalk and the nearby Wrightsville, Carolina and Kure Beaches are all within half-hour drives from downtown Wilmington.
